Quotation from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


I waited until midnight, but there was no sign of his return, so
I retired to my room. It was no uncommon thing for him to be away
for days and nights on end when he was hot upon a scent, so that
his lateness caused me no surprise. I do not know at what hour he
came in, but when I came down to breakfast in the morning there
he was with a cup of coffee in one hand and the paper in the
other, as fresh and trim as possible.


"You will excuse my beginning without you, Watson," said he, "but
you remember that our client has rather an early appointment this
morning."
